Not always pretty (all in the eye of the beholder), but EXTREMELY FLAVORFUL. Get them at your local farmer's market and remember NEVER refrigerate tomatoes. This is what tomatoes are supposed to taste like!

Plant the seeds in the ground or in a container at least 5 gallons in size.

For ease of care use a weed block fabric.

Consistant soil moisture is 90 percent of good gardening. Either pay attention and apply water manually at the roots of the plant or get a basic drip irrigation system with a timer.

Get a rose trellis or chicken wire and tie the vine to it as it grows.

Heritage tomatoes are indeterminate, which means you have to cut the top of the vine when it gets to the size that you want it. After you "top" it, the vine will bush out and start to produce blooms. These blooms after they are pollinated will grow into tomatoes. If it seems that too few are becoming fruit you can help things along yourself...put Cole Porter on the music system and use an artist's brush to get pollen from the stamens and apply it to the pistils of the blooms.

Apply fertilizer to the base of the plant as directed by the manufacturer (I like Miracle Gro). If you use a drip irrigation system you have to apply the fertilizer so the water drips through it.

YES, the green ones are fully ripened.

The inside kinda looks like a pomegranate, those tomato's look absolutely delicious. I'm gonna keep my eye out for those kind. I bet they would be tasty with some olive oil on them.

Don't know about these, but the taste of other older varieties is much more powerfull. Like having the taste of ten tomatoes squeezed in just one tomato.I grow some different varieties in our backyard. All taste different from each other, but they all taste much better dan the store bought tomatoes.
